There is one more tribe of people I don't like. They are the rumour mongers.
Some people love making gossip. I believe that its a myth that women make more gossip. Men make their own sort of gossip without even realising they are gossiping.
But what really gets my goat is malicious rumour mongers. They make unwarranted, absolutely false gossip which causes damage to others. Please refrain from doing this. It is a character flaw in my opinion.
Make the world a more wonderful place by being nice to all. Life is short. Spend your time in making something of it rather than indulging in gossip.
Small people make gossip. Grow up.
This particularly makes me angry when it comes from people in high positions and journalists. People in high positions must live a life of dignity. Journalists should never forget what they owe to the people. In the fight to make ends meet they should not tamper with the very fundamentals of the job. Much of the breaking news on news networks these days are too broken. They create a controversy out of totally different comments made by celebrities. Anyone with average intelligence can make out their fibs. Whom are they trying to make fools of? They should behave more responsibly and give good short news. There is enough happening in the world to more than fill the 24 hours.

Obstructers
The success of any nation is determined by how hardworking and cooperative the people of that nation are. I believe there are intelligent people everywhere. Not all countries are born with opportunities but any country can make opportunities for its own people. There are many countries which are great examples of what a country can become if its people are good. Israel, singapore, japan, germany are just some of the examples for this. They have gone from being in very bad state to being world leaders in various fields.
The biggest reason for this in my opinion is that the people are very hard working, visionary and support each other. Even if i cannot do something but help another who can do it I would be doing a big service to the community.
Unfortunately that is not true in many cultures and it never ceases to annoy me. People don't do things themselves also and obstruct others too. I will not do and i will not let you do also. You have a fresh idea which is very different , revolutionary and does not fit my ideas. Therefore I will obstruct you. I will not encourage you. I cannot come to your level therefore I will bring you down to my level.
This is the attitude these people have and I find it very disgusting.
May their tribe reduce.

Indore to Delhi: What happens at an airport?
I recently travelled by a Deccan flight from Indore to Delhi. While I was at the airport I realised many first timers may not know the airport procedures. Hence, I thought I'll mention them here.
1. When you reach the airport go to the departure section.
2. Keep the ticket handy because you will need to show the guard to get entry. If somebody is accompanying you they may need to take a separate ticket. Note however that visitors are not allowed beyond a point.
3. There will be a checking machine for your main luggage. usually they will put tags on your luggage here. (Each airline or a group may have a common checking point. Its a X-ray machine basically. Put your luggage at one end and receive it at the other).
4. Then go to the airlines counter for "check-in". What basically happens here is that you give your luggage and ticket. They prepare your boarding pass and give it to you. They will also weigh your luggage here probably. If it exceeds the limits you have to pay something extra. Seat preference if any can be given here. (A window seat means you can look out of the aircraft better. Being in an aisle seat means you can walk if you want without disturbing anyone).
5. Then go to security where they check you and the hand luggage (with a similar X-ray machine).
6. Then wait in the lounge near the gate where your flight boarding shall have to be done. On being announced show your boarding pass and go to the bus which takes you to the aircraft.
7. Before entering aircraft they will see your boarding pass.
8. Sit and tie your seatbelt. Now you are ready for the flight. The airhostess may give some instructions here after welcoming you about seat belt etc.
9. In Air Deccan they give a complimentary small water bottle. Reading material is also available including the day's paper and some other inflight material. Food has to be paid for during the breaks. In other airlines food maybe complimentary.
10. Keep your seat belts on till you reach. The takeoff and time before landing is the best time to see out of the window. Especially at night seeing the city below can be very humbling.
11. On reaching get off the aircraft and get onto the bus. It takes you to the terminal.
12. Find out at the terminal where your flight's luggage will come. Collect it and leave.
Thats it. your journey is through!
